Is turbo timer "so called cool down" needed for U.S. evo and are we getting titanium?

I need my turbo timer, I have a gravel driveway about a 1/4 mile ling with several turns and a hairpin in it (After a 5mile 1700ft climb)! Sometimes my Blitz timer (which is boost dependent) idles the for up to 5 minutes depending on how hard I run her up the hill. Cheap insurance

yes a turbo timer is a great thing to have. the original turbos on my stealth started blowing oil and i suspect it was because they were not properly warmed down. it CAN hurt your turbos if they are not properly cooled down. this car, along with ANY turbo car is meant for harder than ussualy driving. might as well take every precausion possible to make it run as long as possible. cause an oil cooled turbo (or any turbo othe than a ball bearing) will separate seals and cause them to blow oil into your engine, and thats not a pretty site when your exhaust has cubic yards of blueish-gray smoke poring out.
